Here at Glenferrie, all settings of barrier gates are done via a
computer, inside the booking office (yes, the one positioned near the
BOM (Booking Office Machine)).  Beside OneLink technicians, I am not
aware of any station staff, here at Glenferrie, adjusting the setting
from the barrier gates themselves.
